And yet, recent research suggests we may have to update this long-established structure. A study, led by Australian National University geophysicist Joanne Stephenson, posits that the Earth’s ...

Our planet's interior is much too deep and hot to explore with probes, so scientists rely on seismic waves to understand and model its structure. Seismic waves are shock waves tha ...

While most of us take the ground beneath our feet for granted, written within its complex layers, like the pages of a book, is Earth's history.

So, virtually everything geologists know about Earth's deep structure is from seismographs, which record how seismic waves from earthquakes travel throughout the planet. "It's as if the only way of ...

What we have always known about the Earth’s inner core has changed, and researchers have provided us with new information. Scientists recently uncovered a hidden structure in the Earth’s core, which ...

The internal structure of Earth, structure of the solid Earth, or simply structure of Earth refers to concentric spherical layers subdividing the Solid earth, i.e., excluding Earth's atmosphere and ...

While most of us take the ground beneath our feet for granted, written within its complex layers, like the pages of a book, is Earth's history. Our history. Research shows there are little-known ...
